The directions for using TeXLive are at http://www.tug.org/texlive/debian.html
reorder a bit
The context packages depend on [http://www.tug.org/texlive TeXLive], so if you are using the Debian teTeX packages (e.g. see whether tetex-base is installed by doing "dpkg -l tetex-base"), it's time to make the change to TeXLive. You'll have to do it eventually since teTeX 3.0 will be its last upstream release. So if not now, when?
If you are switching from teTeX, it's important to <b>purge</b>, not just remove the <tt>tetex-*</tt> packages, before installing the TeXLive packages. Otherwise the teTeX packages's configuration files, including those in <tt>/etc/texmf/texmf.d/</tt> and <tt>/etc/texmf/fmt.d/</tt>, will remain like a ghost haunting the system. One way to do that is
apt-get --purge remove tetex-{extra,doc,bin,base}
The directions for using TeXLive are at http://www.tug.org/texlive/debian.html .Once you've installed the basic TeXLive packages, you'll need a few extras too:
apt-get install texlive-metapost lmodern cm-super
